My ears are down,
Just like a puppy freshly scolded
My eyes are looking to you
But they are scared to look at you
You are so angry
My tail stops wagging
I want to say I am sorry
But my voice keeps stopping
Look at my face
Don’t I look repentant?
I have no courage to face
Was I so bad and adamant?
How do I say?
That I love you
How do I say?
I can’t live without you
I have disappointed you
I am so sorry for that
I have broken your heart
I know it’s not easy to forgive that
Please do not leave me
This small puppy will die
Please smile at me
It’ll make my happiness go so… high
My happiness is in seeing you happy
Look… my tail’s wagging so fast
Hey… you’re smiling… I’m so happy!!!
Look at my face… and see my heart.

(I had written this poem to my girlfriend
when she got angry with me.
I had e-mailed this poem along with a picture of a small puppy
with a heart shaped toy hanging down its neck)
